When I was bad and I eventually told my close mates, to a man, they all said that they already knew, but just didn`t know how to broach it with me.
It was a relief for them and me once it was out in the open.
One of them also confided in me, that he`d been on anti depressants off and on for quite a long time, but was too " ashamed " to tell any of us.
I`ve also ended up supporting one of them a few years back, when his marriage broke down and his wife took him to the cleaners.
Thankfully society is starting to change, where having a " broken head " no longer has a stigma attached to it.
